dziennikarzami

Dziennikarzami is the instrumental plural form of the Polish noun dziennikarz, which means journalist. In Polish, dziennikarz is a masculine noun, and its different cases yield several forms: dziennikarze (nominative plural), dziennikarzy (genitive or accusative plural), dziennikarzem (instrumental singular), and dziennikarzami (instrumental plural). The instrumental case is used to indicate means, accompaniment, or role in a construction.

The primary function of dziennikarzami is to indicate “with journalists” or “as journalists” in sentences that require the instrumental. It often follows prepositions that govern the instrumental, most notably z meaning “with.” For example: Rozmawiał z dziennikarzami. This means “He spoke with the journalists.” The form can also appear in predicates that take the instrumental to name a role, such as in historical or formal phrasing: bycie dziennikarzami (being as journalists) in specialized contexts.

Etymology: dziennikarz comes from dziennik (journal, diary) with the agentive suffix -arz, forming a term that historically described a person who keeps a diary or record and, in modern Polish, a journalist. The instrumental plural dziennikarzami reflects standard noun inflection patterns for masculine animate nouns.

Usage notes: Avoid confusing dziennikarzami with dziennikarzy (genitive/accusative plural) or with dziennikarzami in contexts where another case is required. The form is common in written and formal Polish, particularly in reports and descriptive passages involving groups of journalists or interactions with them.
